Black beans (canned drained)

Black beans are small, shiny black legumes with a dense, creamy texture once cooked, widely used in Latin American, Caribbean, and other cuisines. They are used in soups, stews, refried preparations, and as a filling for burritos and other dishes. Dried beans require soaking and simmering, while canned beans are ready to use after draining and rinsing.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
